You Exist
You exist, you matter, there is purpose in your life despite what’s been thrown your way
Welcome to A Place to Be Seen
This is a place I need to prepare you for because all the writings are not pretty, or perfect, some are hopeful, some are despairing
It is reality at its rawest, my vulnerabilities, reflections, emotions in presenting moments, every aspect of thoughts, here I’m sharing
Some messy, and hard to write, but for me there was a process, as I began to let the words that were evoked flow
Some are frustration and dark, hope seems scarce, others you can see that as I continue to write the concept of prosperity, and resolution grows
I choose to display all writings, because to neglect the ones that are challenging or dark would be untrue to the human form
And my ambition is that whatever you read, one speaks to your being and you know that your thoughts, concerns, and journey is allowed despite if it feels you’re in a storm
So if any piece is relatable, take it, I truly believe these are not just for my benefit but in my creation and activity I thought of you
Lean into the feelings and know they are valid, the good, the bad, the ugly, every portion holds value and is true
So if you cry, feel hopeless, or an ease of mind, give yourself the opportunity for your body to receive and to release
My aspiration is that through whatever capacity these writings hold for you, I hope you find you’re not alone, and there rest is found and you discover peace

Pick Your Battles
It's hard sometimes when conflict arises, or misunderstanding and even disparity compels us to take action
It is not wasted
The seasons, the years, the times that felt unhinged and you wish that you could just erase
Captain
You have navigated many stormy seas, you're a captain, and though it's your job is to direct, you never thought you would in the end be alone
I wanted you to choose me
I wanted you to choose me, not because you are biologically obligated or you felt guilty but because a piece of you wanted me
Forgiveness
Forgiveness, is a big one, a hard one, how do you release the pain and suffering, and let someone free of the harm they have caused you?
The Human Design of Contradictory Position
Can you be in two places at once, a contradictory position, like your heart and mind are at battle and in a state of war
Dissociation
They say don’t disassociate, allow the feelings, be present, it will subside, but sometimes it actually doesn’t and the imminent need is survival

Be careful little eyes what you see is a line I remember hearing as a child and I get it now because what you see can ultimately impact everything
